It&#39;s crazy and disheartening that we can beat ourselves up over tiny decimal points (like you said Maria). Really, it&#39;s how we feel and how we look in the long run, not on a 24 hour basis. If you eat healthy and practice a healthy lifestyle, and are happy with WHO you are, then you ARE healthy...that&#39;s just how it is : )Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425549765583080662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834660703866154195.post-47861599165763976442010-08-27T13:33:22.107-07:002010-08-27T13:33:22.107-07:00I love this post!

Even the slightest gain (why do scales even put decimal points is beyond me) would make me feel like a failure. Me, someone who has worked so hard and achieved so many things...felt like a failure over a .3 weight gain. So sad, but true. Like you, I&#39;m so over that. I haven&#39;t weighed myself in months and I love love love what I see in the mirror.Maria @ Oh Healthy Dayhttp://www.ohhealthyday.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834660703866154195.post-51923314291221162422010-08-27T13:32:52.257-07:002010-08-27T13:32:52.257-07:00I&#39;m giving you a standing ovation.

It&#39;s not that reliable a tool to show progress, maintenance, whatever. #s like that mean diddly squat!Tinahttp://www.faithfitnessfun.comnoreply@blogger.com
